A GIRL RAISED IN PITTSBURGH

As founder of GRIP & CO, Kiki began her career in the fashion industry in New York through the lens of a publicist. With experience in brand strategy, editorial direction, influencer relations, and event production for some of retail’s most notable brands, she built a career grounded in creativity and connection.

Kiki moved home with her husband Patrick and in July 2024, her long-time dream became a reality with GRIP & CO. — a thoughtfully curated retail destination rooted in style, community, and purpose.
